Horizontal Gene Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Biofilms
Antibiotics, 2023 Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it hinders the treatment of infections with antibiotics due to the ...

Immunomodulation in Administration of rAAV: Preclinical and Clinical Adjuvant Pharmacotherapies
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has attracted a significant research focus for delivering genetic therapies to target cells. This non-enveloped virus has been trialed in many clinical-stage therapeutic strategies but important obstacle in ...

Current Biology, 2011 SummaryThe four disparate images shown in Figure 1 have this in common: each represents a radical adaptation that would not have happened had lateral gene transfer (LGT), also known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT), not been the powerful evolutionary force we now know it to be.
